When it comes to keeping track of my appointments and commitments, I've finally figured out the system that works best for me.
It's easy, cheap and 100% effective.
I stick Post-it Notes on my kitchen window.
I know, I know, I know... it's a little weird and not the most attractive way to live my life. But after a billion only-somewhat-successful experiments with other systems, I've accepted the fact that this in-my-face approach works best for me.
Now, I must explain. During the school year, when my life is fairly routine and predictable, I have at most two or three little squares up there on the window at any given time. In fact, over the past weekend, I was down to just one.
But the next few weeks are full of special appointments, non-routine trips and who all knows what. I needed to write a lot of things down.
And by Sunday night, a new and very thick forest of Post-its had sprung up on my window.
I was feeling a little weird about this overflow until I ran across this video on Poppytalk, and suddenly realized that things could be a lot worse.
Or a lot better. Depending on how you feel about art installations involving zillions of Post-its.
Watch it. It's amazing.
